Eamentable cases is due to the burns in

Homemade French Candies,

more Jokes and tricks played during the
time the sandy was cooling and getting
white In Your hands, the better fun all par
ticipar.s had.

carpets, but no thought for carefuness
was expected on the occasion itself. From
kitchen to parlor there were sticky finger
marks, daubs of -four and butter
This sort of candy making is quite su-
perseded by the knowledge we have gained
OF making superior quality of French
candy. 1t does away with all cooking,
cooling, and pulling, ali eXtravagant litter
ins, and French candy parties are quite the
proper form Of entertainment.
Invite your guests, say from ten to twenty
persons. Provide each with medium
sized bowl, into which there has been
broken the white of one egg, and a strong
silver spoon; plated ones are best, because
trmer in the handles.
Provide several pounds of confectioners
sugar, not ordinary powdered sugar but
NIX powdered sugar, costing ten or elev II
cents per pound. The egg should be
mixed with the sugar until stiff cream is
formed firm enough to mold in the hand
into any shape desired. This is the foun-
dation for all French sweets.
Variety may be given to the collection
by one guest dissolying a small teaspoon III
of pink sugar first in the egg AMI tiavoring
with strawberry extract. Another luast
may be provided with grated maple sugar.
which should be used equally with the
confectioners sugar maple sugar will not
work we'll alone), tiavoring 1t with coffee.
The plain creams NAV be favored with rs
many extracts as You have guests. Vanilla
rs always safest. Mold the cream into any
shape you may fancy or may have seem
egg shapes, balls, squares, or lozenge
shapes.
Have nuts banched and dried, almonds,
flherts, English walnuts; combine them
with the creams as on fancy.
Cherries ard a few other candied fruits
give a variety of color to the whole.
Chocolate creams are favorite kind of
candy. They are best made of these
creams, favored with vanilla and nodded
into cone shapes. Melt bakers chocolate
in a bowl and set over boiling water Drop
the creams into it and roll until covered
thoroughly, then set on buttered paper to
dry. Keep the chocolate hot until all the
creams are used.
Nougat, the most toohsome dainty of
the confectioper's art. may be made by
adding a teaspoonful of honey to the egg,
with several nuts of any or all kinds,
chopped and mixed with the confecioners
sugar. The nougat should be nodded into
one cake, squared, allowed to dry slightly,
when il can be nicely sliced with thin,
keen knife.
The variety and pleasure in making these
french candies are only limited by your
own fanc;es.

A Chicago writer discusses the ques-
ton whether at weddings the man is mar
ried to the woman or the woman mar
ried to the man. Should the marriage
notice read: MARY Ann, daughter o;
Jehial Mos back, to Ahashuerus Start
en-" or "Ahashuerus Startem, to Mary
AMI, daughter of Jehial?" That is the
question which agitates Chicago.
The weight of test 'mony is all in
favor of wedding the woman to the
man. The Bible is on that side of the
question, and so is the marriage service
of the Episcopal Church. Usually, too,
the husband objects to being married
to the woman, unless she has money.
He prefers the other form and most of
the ladies agree to it Utica Herald.

Women and Literature.

Women have gone largely into jour
nalism, and with much success; but it
must be rene nbered that journalism is
not. literature, though it belongs to the
same genus, and may be quite as i'm
portant. journalism is to literature,
to use a culinary comparison, as are
breakfast griddle cakes to the loaf of
bread. The former are to be eaten
hot, or not at all. while the bread only
improves by day or two's keeping.
The same cook may happen to excel
in both, but it is combination of two
different gifts, and cannot safely be
counted on. The department in which
one my next hope for an advance
among the graduates of our women's
colleges is in what may be called the
art of intellectual bread-making-the
production of permanent literature,
